[QUOTE="Taxidermist, post: 1153967, member: 24849"]I have recently received a 1924 50 kopeck variety, Y# 89.1 according to the standard catalog of world coins. I was hoping to see old Russian weight units on the edge, again, according to the catalog description. What i saw were new gram units, the kind that should be on Y# 89.2, in other words, only on varieties from years 1925-1927. I checked a Russian catalog (RSFSR/SSSR 1921-2011), here is what it says. Take a look at the variety table on the right: [ATTACH]119429.vB[/ATTACH] It seems i got number 1 in this table, while i thought i will be getting number 3, with actual old weight units. According to this table, the coin i got is relatively rare and supposed to be more valuable. Could anyone acknowledge this? If, according to the world catalog, the price for this coin is $30 USD in XF, should the value for a variety i got be higher? (I got a feeling i saw a very similar thread here, with an answer from one of the Russian coins collectors, but i can not find it.)[/QUOTE]
